Dennis,
The last time non-TBs appeared on the cover of the AIS Bulletin was January
of this year, which featured a photo of Lowell Baumunk's garden with the
foreground completely dominated by medians (appear to be mostly MTBs). The
last time that a non-bearded iris appeared on the front cover was April,
1997 (pseudacorus), the time before that was January, 1997 (Siberians).
Think about it, Dennis - 50% OF THE BULLETIN COVERS IN 1997 FEATURED
BEARDLESS IRISES !!!!!!! You joined AIS a year too late! The time before
that was January, 1995, when a photo of the garden of Clarence Mahan, the
current President of the AIS, was featured - not a bearded iris in sight!
Must be a nefarious plot by the Great TB Conspiracy!!!!!! (-:
